We have ignored the Healthcare System in our country for decades and look where we are! Our Ignorance and tolerance of the so-called Market Driven Health Care has resulted in Disaster! The biggest culprit, those Corporate Executives , Insurance Companies,Lobbyists and our lawmakers, the politicians. All equally guilty of GREED! Although our government and the laws written have allowed an open door to Fraud, it is time to bring the Corporate Criminals & Politicians to Justice.

Health Care for PROFIT,,,,,NO HEALTH, NO WEALTH

"Managed Care" was supposed to be the solution to rising health costs. HMOs would cut out the waste and keep an eye on doctors who ordered unnecessary tests and procedures, saving consumers big money. But it was the HMOs that made the big money–by restricting care.

Their philosophy was summed up by Richard Rainwater, cofounder of the for-profit HMO Columbia-HCA: “The day has come when somebody has to do in the hospital business what McDonald’s has done in the fast-food business and what Wal-Mart has done in the retailing business.”

Poll after poll shows that a majority of Americans want a national health system that guarantees care for everyone. In fact, a Wall Street Journal survey found that more than half of those asked would be willing to pay $2,000 a year extra in taxes to guarantee health care for those who don’t have access to it. What exists in the U.S. today is really two health-care systems: one for the haves and one for the have-nots. For the rich, no expense is spared in using the latest techniques and technology on medical problems.

For the rest, health care is “rationed.” Drugs and treatments that could help people live longer, healthier and more fulfilling lives are often beyond reach because of a bewildering array of restrictions–imposed in the interests of the bottom line.

So it’s no surprise that the most important factors determining a person’s health have nothing to do with diet or exercise or smoking. The most important factors are social class and race.Source: http://amfwonline.us/blog/2008/02/05/the-american-dream%e2%80%a6-is-it-dead/

About Me

I prefer to remain hopeful with the notion "Justice for ALL" , around the world. I believe that education is the key to peace and justice.Too much of the small stuff is focused on in mainstream media opposed to the reality of life in a Global World.
The US educational system is declining in the world ranking.
Our Health Care System is a Market-Driven System and as usual, with humans, the superior animal on this planet, have not been monitored. Humans need to be monitored.
CORPORATE CONTROL,Greed,De-regulation of Humans, Our elected and appointed Politicians and CORRUPTION has allowed our country to get to this point of destruction! We need to remember that the founding fathers created this country by it's government "FOR THE PEOPLE, BY THE PEOPLE" which has been transformed into a free-for-all.This is mycountry and the only country I can obtain a passport for, (legally anyway)thus I will try to do my part, as a citizen of my country to ensure it remains "We the people, for the people, by the people"!Just like our FOUNDERS intended it to be!
